I knew you looked familiar, you are that lady from....ermmmmm, he said holding his jaw.Sky crossed her hands and watched him, from where? she asked?
From.......oh dammit, I can"t remember but she"s very beautiful and not fat and not pregnant, so it can"t be you. let"s go
My fiance will kill me, if he sees me on a bike, so it"s either I drive or you get into my car with me. Sky said pointing at the black car parked not too far from the restaurant.
Ain"t no way I"ll let a girl ride my bike, and I"m not getting into some tinted black car with you so you can take me to the man on suit.
Man on suit? Sky asked
Rolling his eyes, Femi said. Stop pretending as if you don"t know lady...he sent you here didn"t he?
Hmmmm...Femi, we both need eachother and I"m sure you want to go somewhere private so we can talk. I know some people who are waiting for information so they can help purnish the person who"s behind the whole thing. Mr Afam almost lost his life, his family already left him, and I don"t think it"s good for you to be hanging around this school and I"m sure you are being watched now, Sky said adjusting her face cap.
Do you know you are strange? But just so you know, your car is soooo cool but I"m not getting into your car. And you are right about something, I"m being followed. He threw his bike keys at Sky. But if I discover you ride like a girl, I"m throwing you off my bike ...deal?
Deal! Sky said smiling as she caught the keys. As Femi strolled to his bike, Sky looked at Bones in the driver seat and nod her head. She went to Femi and got on the bike, she smiled as she felt the bike roar to life. Oh how she missed riding.
As Femi directed the strange lady, he thought to himself. It is true that he is being followed but there"s one place they don"t follow him to, cause they already threatened him, that if he said anything to anyone, he will disappear from the surface of the earth.
Femi lived with his aunt in the ghettos of City L, he gave up on school a long time ago but Rose changed that and now she"s dead. Although he hated his aunt, he didn"t want her dead. He hasn"t gone home since Rose"s death cause he didn"t want anyone to trace him. He slept anywhere, at his friend"s place or at the club until he"s kicked out towards the early morning. There was something about this lady that made him want to believe her and she looked alot like her to. Sighing he asked the lady to turn left. He looked back to see if they were being followed but all the cars seemed to be going their way.
He directed her to a place that isn"t motorable and the lady stopped instead, the road was so narrow that only bikes and bicycle could pa.s.s.
I"m not going in there, Sky said.
Why? are you scared
Off course I"m scared, if I"m not scared for myself, I have my baby to worry about.
This is the only place they can"t follow me to, even if I don"t like you and don"t trust you, I won"t harm you. Please move, if we stay here for too long, it"ll raise suspicion.
Sky looked around and prayed quietly. Bones please find me. She tore open the bag of peanuts in her pocket and drove into the narrow road.
Bones changed cars not long after he left the school. His boss and the strange boy have been driving for ten minutes now and yet they still haven"t gotten to their destination. Yes the boss"s phone had a tracker but it only worked with network. He noticed Sky stop the bike and looked around, he checked the signal on his phone and noticed there was no signal. This was the slums of City L and most of the mast have been destroyed. Alot of bad boys lived here. Please boss don"t go into that road, come down. I"ll take it from here. He tried her cell but he couldn"t connect. He came down from the car and started walking towards them, when his boss started the bike and drove into the narrow road. f.u.c.k he said as he ran towards then but his leg was no match for a bike.
After driving for five minutes, Femi told Sky to stop. She noticed the place they stopped wasn"t all that bad, it was like a garden, an abandoned garden but if you look at it well, you"ll know it was once a beautiful place. Femi greeted some people as they came down from the bike, he spoke the native language of City L and one of the boys sitting down threw him a key. Sky followed him to one shabby shelter, the walls were cracked but the door was made of iron. Shee could here music coming from inside.
Noticing her uneasiness, Femi said to her, don"t worry we are almost there, and if anyone ask, you are my girlfriend.
Sky didn"t say a word as she observed her surrounding. She watched him open the door and was greeted with loud music. The room was filled with teenagers. Young teenagers, some smooching, some smoking while some dancing to the music.
Follow me, Femi said as he held her hand. He led her into another room, a small empty room, no cigerrete, no light except for the light coming from the window. But the place reeks of s.e.x. We have twenty minutes, Femi said to her, and after that, they"ll kick us out of this place.
Femi I will throw up, if I stay here, can"t you smell it?
I"m use to it...now let"s start talking, eat your snacks or something just hold it in so I can tell you everything.
Sky dipped her hand in her pocket and brought out a lollipop. Allright tell me everything, don"t leave anything out.
Rose applied for the scholarship programme, she wanted us to do it together but I refused and promised her, I will apply only when I see her get in. She did well in the exams. She went to the school and started processing her admission when the man on suit approached her, and told her that if she wants to complete her admission process, she had to pay a fee but that he can help her, if she does something for him.
That was when I told her to leave everything and try something else until she"s capable of sending herself to school. She refused and told the man that if s.e.x and murder wasn"t involved that she"ll do what he wants. That was when she met with Mr Afam and one other man, I never met this other man.
Sky pulled out her phone and showed Femi the picture of Mr Dokun. Is this the man on suit?
No that"s not him, I have a picture of him somewhere but it"s in my phone. The other man Rose met, they only met twice, I could only get a picture of his back view. I will send it to you once my phone is charged.
So if there was no s.e.x involved, and you knew about the whole thing, how did she get pregnant and why did you agree to this deal? except she cheated on you or was raped?
Here is the thing lady, Rose wasn"t pregnant. She didn"t have s.e.x with that lecturer and I am very sure if it.
So if she didn"t die of failed abortion, what killed her?
I won"t say anymore until you prove to me that you can help me and protect me
